SUPPORT FOR CORNIVCE-POYLES.

SPEGIFIdATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,892, dated June 5, 1883.

Application filed April 23, 1883. (N model.)

To (all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN DAY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Supports for Cornice-Poles; and the following is declared to be a description of the same.

Before my invention stair-rods had frequent- 1y been provided with ornamental end pieces attached to the stair, and against which the rod was held by an ornamental sliding band having lips to hold said rod in place, and stairrodshave also been made with an ornamental tubular end slot-ted to pass behind a screw eye; fastened in the stair, and said tubular end was adapted to pass into or over the tubular stair-rod and hold the same in place.

My invent-ion relates to devices for holding the cornice-pole in place; and it consists of a segmental rest and sliding coupler. Said seg mental rest is part ofa cylinder upon which the pole rests at or near the end. The rest is formed as part of a bracket to be attached upon the outer facing of a window-casing; or it is provided with a metal back to be secured upon the inner or opposite faces of a window or door casing or wall. The sliding coupler is slid upon the cornice-pole, and the latter is laid in the segmental rest, and the coupler slid along over the rest covering the same and securing the rod in place.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation and partial section of a cornice-pole and bracket. Fig. 2 is an end view of the bracket. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the segmental rest as adapted for the opposite faces of a window or door casing. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the sliding coupler, and Fig. 5 is a vertical section of the segmental rest and sliding coupler together.

In Fig. l the bracket to may be of any de sired form or ornamentation. It is secured to the outer face of the window-casing in any convenient manner. The segmental rest 0 is secured to the side of the bracket. in Fig. l is especially adapted to vestibuledoor curtains. The same construction with a This form different bracket is equally adapted for windows. This segmental rest 0 is a half-tube, and

into it the cornice-pole d is laid.

The sliding coupler e may be made in any ornamental form desired. larger in diameter than the cornice-pole d,- or, in other words, it is large enough to slide over the pole and under the rest when the parts are put together. It may be plain, as shown in Fig. 1, or cone-shaped with ribs, as shown in Figs. -i and 5, in which latter case it binds against the segmental'rest, and its spring action keeps it in place; or it may be held by a locking pin or screw to preventthe parts separating. Y Y

To put the cornice-pole in place after the segmental rest has been secured to thewindow or door casing, it is only necessary to place the sliding coupler over the end' of the cornicepole, to lay the end part of the cornice-pole in the segmental rest and slide the coupler back along the pole and over the rest to retain parts in position.

The segmental rest 0 (shown in Fig. 3) is made with a back plate, f, that is adapted to be fastened upon the opposite faces of a win dow or door casing by nails or screws.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination, with the cornice-pole d, of the bracket a, segmental rest 0, and sliding coupler e, as and for the purposes set forth. I

the

It is a tube slightly 2. The combination, with a cornice-pole, of the segmental rest 0 and back plate, f, and the slidingv coupler e, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. 3. The segmental rest 0 and sliding coupler e, in combination with a cornice pole, and means, substantially as described, for securing the segmental rest to a window or door casing, as set forth.

Signed by me this 10th day of April,-A. D. 1883.
